  This is getting more and more disgusting: "JW Abuse Victim Told to Bottle Her Tears"

  by cappytan in

  it took six years and three trials before a senior official in the jehovah's witness church was jailed for sexually abusing his daughter.. the only support the jehovah's witnesses gave the woman was to tell her to" put her tears in a skin bottle".. .

  I was floored when I heard that the victim was told that. It is reprehensible.

  That aside, though, "Tears in a Skin Bottle" would make a good tilte for a book/movie. Or maybe a song...

  Maybe both. A movie about all of this, with a soundtrack...tears in a skin bottle...blood running down my cheeks...

  Hundreds of JW Child Molesters in Australia not Reported to Police- CNN News you tube

  i felt it might be a good idea to post this so that sitting on the fence jw's or jw lurkers can see that this australia jw child abuse news of 1,006 jw child molesters not being reported to police by elders is a reality that has hit mainstream news media.

  i thought this report was very well done.

  here's the link : http://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2015/07/28/australia-jehovah-witness-sex-abuse-hannigan-lklv.cnn.

  flipper: These crimes are way more common than we realize. And these are just the ones we KNOW about. Can you imagine how many of these child abuse cases are out there ? I shudder to think. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

  I think that the Commission is well aware that there are many unreported cases within the JWs. The lawyer for the victim addrressed how the process of the judical system in place within their oganization stops those who are timid or scared from even coming forward. The testimony of the elders as to the harshness of the process is damning. The implications of this is not lost on the Commission.

  millie: Does anyone know what power the Commission has? Do they just recommend or can they enforce?

  The Commission can and will enforce redress.

  Audesapre: These buffoons have ZERO interest in knowing anything about the accuser. They had opportunity to read her testimony and/or watch the hearings but boldly admit that they did no such thing.

  I think he is lying. He read her statement. His response to Stewart's first question about what he had said to his wife was way too fast and appeared to be rehearsed.

  All of the JWs have claimed so far that they haven't read the victims' statements. I believe this is a defensive tactic that they have been told to say but it is pure bullshit.

  By saying they haven't read the statements, they want to appear as though they are truthful and not just denying what is said in the victim statement. Their lawyers have told them to say they didn't read the statements.

  Of course they have. All of them have lied about it.

  The Commission is getting angry. They have been so cool up to this point but this Dinoshit is really testing their patience. You can feel and see the anger from those who are questioning him. Stewart gave up...he couldn't deal with him anymore. He was obviously pissed. They all are.

  Dinoshit should go to jail for contempt of court. He has been caught is so many lies.

  MadSweeney: OH MY GOD he's justifying dads mouth-kissing their daughters!

  Yeah...he claimed that it was a cultural behavior that actually was a way that some families show affection. And then he said that the guy was Hungarian!! This is a new one for me...I know Hungarians. It is not a part of their culture.

  I have a hard time to not punch my computer screen while watching and listening to this f**head. He is a blatant liar - makes a person wonder about "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" that he swore to tell when he was holding onto the silver sword. It makes a mockery of their bible, doesn't it?

  Did the Governing Body sucessfully fend off this bad news on thier TV Broadcast??

  by Wasanelder Once in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  remember there was a talk about not listening to "false stories" about sexual abuse from apostates on jw's fantasy station?

  did the governing body put it out there as preemptive damage control because they knew this was coming?

  they must have had subpoenas giving them a heads up.

  This will break some walls down. What do you think?

  I agree. Especially if the Royal Commission's findings result in criminal prosecution of some of the elders and the higher ups in the Australian branch.

  The ripple effect has yet to reach full tsunami proportions...but it will. The floodgates are opening wider every day. Thank goodness for people like Barbara Anderson and the victims like Candace and others who have come forward already - they truly are heroes. This Royal Commission is such a strong affirmation of all those who have worked so hard for justice.

  Kudos to everybody who has given voice to the unheard - their voices are about to be shouted worldwide. I am willing to shout if I have to, and scream when necessary. I will never be silent. I will go to my grave screaming for justice and retribution for all the victims of this horrible cult.

  Someone will hear...somewhere. We will not be silenced.

  vidiot: Pretty sure the website and channel were fast-tracked in expectation of this, specifically to try and get ahead of it.

  I agree. It explains why they have been flooding social media sites with their jw..org crap and trying to up the rank of their own propaganda on search engines through the promotion of their website.

  It has been a deliberately planned campaign to keep the news about this commission under wraps.

  I don't think it is working. Bad news travels fast.

  Dragging Jehovah's name trough the mud!

  by truthseekeriam in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  listening to the first survivor testify to the australian royal commission really brought back some feelings i had put aside.. the feelings of guilt you feel for doing the right thing is extremely hard even when you know it's illogical it doesn't stop the abuse you do to yourself with these toxic thoughts of "dragging jehovah's name through the mud" i guess it doesn't help that you have the elders freaking out saying "reproach, reproach...this is bad!!

  it took quite awhile for me to come to terms with how completely ridicules it is to think jehovah would want this hidden.

  the truth is the religion wants it hidden and they are perfectly fine with destroying lives along the way!!

  It's not redundant when by 'name' is implied "reputation".
  Eden

  You are right, Eden. It is a cultural understanding of "name". I think I am more used to the Chinese expression of lose "face" rather than "name".

  "Jehovah's name" still sounds weird to me. I guess it is because the JWs emphasize so much that "Jehovah is God's name" that it is difficult for me to turn that around to "reputation" in this usage.
